Nissan Rogue Forum

Hi: We just purchase our 2011 Rogue in the last month. I was just wondering if anyone out there has purchased the rear bumper strip for the top of the bumper?? And if so, is it easy to install? I'd appreciate any responses. Thanks for your help!!

Yes, you just have to clean the bumper with alcohol and stick the protection with the 3M automotive stickers installed on it.

It is a 5 minutes job, really easy. Just take your time and do a dry test first to see where / how to install it.

Put one on ours to protect from hockey bags, and one on my parents Rogue, easy to do, no problems.

My 2011 Rogue came with the bumper protector installed.

I installed my own, it was very simple and easy but follow the directions carefully and do several dry runs because that tape is so sticky that once it touches the paint it is stuck for good, there's no second chance.

But I'd highly recommend doing this yourself, and you purchase these cheaper on ebay for less than the dealer charges but I probably wouldn't risk getting a lower quality adhesive. With the Genuine Nissan part you know it will stick forever.

On a side note, I don't understand why this wouldn't be standard factory equipment, and there should be a recess in the bumper so the plastic protector sits flush like most vehicles in this class. This stick on one sits up above and has a bit of an edge, not a big deal but this thing is so essential to protect your investment it should be standard from the factory.

Yes, I agree it should be standard on the Rogue. Also the recess is a good idea.
